Saturday, March 10 Kayaking to island 25 miles
Today was perfectly calm, so I decided to paddle again to Espiritu Santu Island. I hoped to go further than I had before, and perhaps go all the way around it, which would probably take two days. To give myself that option, I packed plenty of water and food, but took only the bare minimum for camping—no tent, sunshade, or cooking gear. I learned my lesson from the previous trip, about taking too much cumbersome gear. Still, packing took some time, so I didn’t leave till about 10:45 am.

I made good time across to the island, then continued along the east coast.
